Thomas N. Seyfried

But what other fuel were the parasites using? They were using glucose by glycolysis.

And Thomas Seyfried, professor from Boston, he says also glutamine.

So there is two fuels that parasites love based on sugar.

And if they're well-fed, they will survive and they will grow and they will metastasize.

Today's guest is Daniel Orego, founder of Sustainable Interventions, an organization dedicated to helping patients understand and apply metabolic therapies alongside conventional medicine.

Daniel has spent years studying the work of researchers like Dr. Thomas Seyfried and Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, helping bridge the gap between cutting-edge science and practical application.

Today, we're talking about metabolic health, cancer, and why simply eating keto isn't the whole story.

So, Daniel, man, thank you so much for taking the time and coming on.

And I think what's really important for the listeners to know, because as we go into this, I'm going to have questions on what people should do in the very early stages of getting an undesirable diagnosis, like a cancer diagnosis.

What are the first 72 hours look like, week, month? How should people go about that? We'll have questions and we'll be able to lay that out for the listeners.

But I did a podcast with Professor Thomas Seyfried.

Some of those clips got a lot of views, a lot of traction.

Pleasure's ours.

We have explored the roots, or I guess the metabolic roots, of cancer on the podcast with wonderful Dr. Thomas Seyfried.

We've had... metabolic roots of kidney disease with Thomas Williams.

We've had the metabolic roots of Alzheimer's and so on and so forth.

And that's where the whole It became useful in the medical world.

And then in recent years, Thomas Seyfried from Boston University, Boston College, who's done a lot of works with them and is an advocate of Warburg and the metabolic cause of CFCs.

You know, since CFCs need 19 times more glucose than non-CFC cells, you know, his reasoning is, well, let's not give it the glucose.

It's impossible to do.

And although this episode isn't necessarily about metabolic health, I think this kind of sets the scene for the parallels that exist between this concept and the lives that we live.

So in metabolic wellness, and this is actually a concept that was put forth by Dr. Thomas Seyfried, is a framework called push-pause.

And what that means is before a naturopathic practitioner, before they add anything to a person's plan of action, they're going to think about basically three questions.

Given everything that this person's body is carrying right now, what they're going through right now, the metabolic state of being, can we push it? Or is this person steady, right? Are they doing well? Are they looking good? Is everything going well? And do we want to just hold here, right? Do we want to just not add anything, not take anything away? Let's hold here because they're doing good.

And even if I was trying to stay on places where we are, I would still say, "Look at this.

It appears to be a cancer cure." This is world-renowned cancer biologist Thomas Seyfried, PhD.

He said, "This is why the parasite medications are working," and we have so many different cases, anecdotal right now at this point, as to, uh, why these things, you know, ivermectin, fenbendazole, menbendazole, why these things are working, but we have a lot of, uh, people talking about that.

And so he goes back and identifies a mechanat- uh, a mechanism and, uh, why this works.

So again, autoimmune diseases that they want to heal.

Oh yeah, Thomas Seyfried is another researcher who recommends carnivore and ketogenic diet for cancer.

So if you are battling cancer, I would recommend looking into Thomas Seyfried who literally says ketogenic can help you reverse cancer.

And he has a whole practice helping cancer patients reverse it.

And that is without chemotherapy too.

Of course.

Um, uh, we all acknowledge the pioneering work from, uh, Dr. Thomas Seyfried.

Um, he, uh...

In, in fact just so the, the, the c- the audience can appreciate some of what he's shown, I actually share my s- with my students this when, when cancer comes up in the, in the pathophysiology li- uh, uh, um, class that I teach.

That's, that's super interesting.

Thank you for sharing your opinion on that.

And, and also Thomas Seyfried's work, I, the research you mentioned is so fascinating and really shows that we do need to focus also on the, the mitochondria here.

Dom, I know, I'm sure you have, um, something, uh, some thoughts on this considering your work in the lab.
